What Were They Thinking?

Nathan is away so Jason has come to play! This week, Jason MacLeod co-hosts to discuss the 320 million dollar Netflix "Original" - The Electric State. Were the voiceovers recorded via Cameo? How in the hell is Mr. Peanut a major character in a movie? Themes of human connection existing in a movie that is essentially one big algorithm? And enough with the needle drops! And stop wasting Ke Huy Quan...

It's Pop Girl Summer on the show as the guys discuss Mariah Carey's epic tale of fame... Glitter. Why does Carey play such an empty husk of a character? This took place in the 1980s!? Late Nite Live? Give me a break. And how about that wild, dark ending? Next week: Pop Girl Summer concludes. What We've Been Watching: 28 Years Later "Ironheart" Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/wwttpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

And you thought Amos & Andrew was wrong-headed! This week, the guys discuss the colossal misfire White Man's Burden starring John Travolta and Harry Belafonte in a real racism mix-'em-up. It's as troublesome as it sounds! Does the premise completely miss the idea of classism? What's up with the weird 1950s sexism? Was that the most ridiculous downer ending? And just WHAT IN THE HECK is Travolta do...

This week, the fellas sit down to discuss Ghostbus... I mean, Evolution, which may have scientists fighting supernatural/otherworldy forces, a big goopy finale with a big goopy monster and Ivan Reitman directing but is in no way the same movie. Nathan and Brendan also break down dubious fireman training, the Head and Shoulders product placement, Dan Aykroyd improv skills and much more. Next week:...

The tale of Brandon Lee and his fun-loving, sunny-dispositioned good guy played by... Powers Boothe?! Yes, it's Rapid Fire. Why does Jake like to draw pictures of dragons with naked ladies? Is a bowling alley hideout a red flag if you meet up with a cop? A Chinese laundromat? Really!? Also, does the podcast have a new sponsor? Next week: Ca-Caw Ca-Caw Tookie Tookie Ca-Caw Ca-Caw! What We've Been W...

Ah, the beloved Tom Selleck and his moustachio. Who could ever forget... other than this sleepy performance in this very forgettable comedy Her Alibi co-starring supermodel Paulina Porizkova! Do you like the same two jokes over and over again? Clownfights? Questionable age gaps? Then you'll love this movie! Next week: Lee Jr. What We've Been Watching: Night Call Novocaine Friendship Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week, it's time to talk about the colossal misfire adaptation of a beloved book - The Bonfire of the Vanities. Is this the most miscast movie ever made? Just how bad are those monologues by Judge Morgan Freeman? Could this movie be any more tone-deaf? Plus - an honest Geraldo Rivera cameo and much more! Next week: A moustache and a model. What We've Been Watching: The Fighter "Criminal Minds:...

John Cena and Awkwafina? In a Small-Screen Shameful? Yes, that's right, folks. This week, the fellas talk about the straight-to-Amazon comedy Jackpot! Does this movie really believe The Purge is a premise that is ripe for comedy? Just how many quips and one-liners is too much? We get a Ninja Turtles fight scene? All this, a Machine Gun Kelly cameo and much more! Next week: rich jerks. What We've B...

It's about money we talk about this money-tested film that made a lot of time at the box office, In Time. It's a very subtle critique of capitalism that surely flew over most people's heads and will be appreciated in another money as one of the smartest movies ever. Just kidding! Really flimsy time/money exchange rates, displaying bank accounts in plain sight, the Robin Hood ending and so much mor...

This week, the boys bring back comic expert Joshua Kotsabasakis to discuss Ang Lee's Hulk. Wait... is this... like a pretty good movie?

Find out! Next week: It's about time/money. What We've Been Watching:...

Yes... the time has come... to discuss one of the worst and laziest movies of all-time... The Emoji Movie. As your hosts try not to keel over, they discuss this mess of a motion picture including the genuinely terrible life lessons for children, the annoying 1-2 punch of T.J. Miller and James Corden, the poop emoji cameo, the nightmare world of their workplace and so much more. :( Next week: a sup...

March 5th, 1993. A day that will live in infamy. On that date, Sir Nicolas Cage, Lord Samuel L. Jackson and director/activist E. Max Frye... solved... racism. Yes indeed. They did it with the help of a little film called Amos & Andrew (not Andy). You might doubt these claims, you might find them dubious... but need I remind you of the power of film. Indeed, Sir Mix-a-Lot said it best in the film's...

You didn't know we would cover this one? We gave you all the clues! This week, the guys try to wrap their heads around the nonsensical mess that is The Snowman starring a very sleepy Michael Fassbender. They talk about naming your main character Harry Hole, the multiple subplots that are unfinished or illogical, Val Kilmer (RIP) getting ADR'ed by an 1850s prospector, Chloë Sevigny playing twin far...

This week, one of our patrons Raina Harper returns to the show to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of the oft-maligned yet ambitious sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending. How does Caine identify as half-dog exactly? Does Sean Be(e)an have the dumbest character name ever? What in the world is Eddie Redmayne doing with this performance? Was there a secretly brilliant montage in the movie that...

The March to Wrestlemania CONTINUES with Ryan Gilbert back in the saddle again to help us discuss 2005's Doooooooom! The Rock sure cusses a lot in this movie, doesn't he? Why did RFK portray Jessica Rabbit? Did that first-person scene need to be 12 hours long? All this and more! Next week: Wackyowski. What We've Been Watching: Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes "Wacky Races" "Space Ghost Coast to Coa...

Ah yes, the march begins... TO WRESTLEMANIA! This week, the guys are joined by wrestling expert Ryan Gilbert to break down one of the worst events from one of the worst years in the WWE - King of the Ring '95.

How many different endings did this go through? Is Christopher Walken as a "young man" in this film one of the most ridiculous, lazy things ever? And for the love of God, enough with all the twists! Next week: we're a modern stone-age fam...

Get ready because Mariah has chosen the film for the boys and she has chosen a childhood favourite - The Lizzie McGuire Movie. The gang discuss the Disney Channel star's adventures in Italy and of course the worst person in all of human existence... Paolo. Does CNN cover junior high school events? Does Alex Borstein deserve an Oscar (while her character should simultaneously be banned from being a...

The love of Nathan's life picks the movie for the guys this week as Patty selects the 2000 hit Coyote Ugly. Does this movie take place in Vin Diesel's Beautiful World?

Who is the Lady in The Watchers and why is her only function to explain the premise? Are there any death scenes that were unimaginative? And oh... come on... how in the world did Ned survive?
